Spent a week having breakfast at this restaurant as it is co-located with the Vogue Hotel Curio by Hilton and is the go-to for paid breakfast bookings. Breakfast menu was a-la carte and the kitchen created magic day after day. Each dish was exquisitely prepared and presented - see photos. Dessert on the last evening of our stay was out of this world - Chocolate Mousse Cake and Signature Rhubarb Crumble (see photos). The bar is also well-appointed and the Sake we ordered, though ridiculously pricey, was wonderful. Service while well-intentioned and staffed by eager youngsters, was scattered and spotty - wait times to order were sometimes inordinate and once ordered attention was lacking and coffee, water, etc., were only spottily served and topped up. Provided this feedback to the duty manager - she was wonderful, apologetic and willing to take constructive feedback onboard. The frontline serving staff apparently are very new and hopefully will improve with time. Overall, although not cheap, a satisfactory set of meals at this restaurant.

Food and services are amazing. Very cozy vibe. I come here every morning for breakfast, by myself and never feel awkward or left out. Those relaxing mornings are the highlights of my Montreal trip.

We ate here two nights in a row. We stayed at the Vogue Hotel which made it super convenient. It also helped us avoid the cold outside. The first night we ate at the restaurant. The second night we ate at the bar. To stet off the staff is excellent. Our first night our waitress suggested the tasting menu which my wife and I ultimately selected. The presentation and food were awesome. Each course was explained to us by our waitress. The presentation of the food was top notch. The portions were perfect. Completing the meal was a perfect chocolate and per desert paired with a great cup of coffee.

We stayed at the hotel and it was one of the best experience and to top that the food in the hotel, Yama Resto was phenomenal. We had breakfast and dinner and it was magic for our tastebuds. Highly recommend staying at the hotel and eating at the restaurant for all meals!

Tuna Taco

Such a wonderful unexpected surprise- We were staying at The Hotel Vogue and thrilled to learn they had a Japanese restaurant. We went for dinner our first night and after chatting with our waitress we decided to each have the tasting menu for the evening. She assured us it was the freshest seafood we would ever have. Each dish came out with an elegant presentation- One of my favorites that night was the Tuna Taco- Each course was spaced out perfectly allowing us to enjoy drinks from the bar- We enjoyed several Naked and Famous and Bubbles - I really enjoyed the Sake and pear in the Bubbles - nice tartness and a slow sipper which went perfectly with the tasting menu! Our food was so good the next evening we sat at the bar - Had drinks and ordered some sushi rolls and truffle fries - The space was quiet which allowed for nice conversation. The resturant was not overly busy and the staff are attentive but give plenty of space. Overall one of the highlights to our Montreal trip

Lounge during the holidays.

Visited Chef Antonio Park's Restaurant, Yama during December for a birthday party. The restaurant is located inside the luxury Vogue Hotel in downtown. They also serve brunch and lunch, with a full cocktail bar. My first impressions walking in the venue, was the beautifully crafted decor. Each section was elegant and thoughtfully designed. The lounge area has a large seating area by the window and fireplace. There was a huge Christmas tree which was great for taking photos. Tongue came through with accommodating our huge group of 30 guests. He made sure we had everything and we were taken care of. Great host! Before dinner, a friend tried a cocktail from the textured menu, served in a clay pot. I sampled the espresso martini which was perfectly balanced and strong. We enjoyed the fixed menu which includes appetizers, main and dessert. Presentation and taste were 5 on 5 for each item on the menu. The risotto was the best dish of the evening. During the long wait, we were provided french fries which satisfied the hunger until dinner service. I sampled everything from the fixed menu: chicken gyoza, bluefin tataki, black cod, beef tenderloin, mushroom risotto, and lastly the caramel hazelnut chocolate pastry dessert. The sommelier was helpful and knowledgeable and brought an effervescence wine which was not listed. We ended up purchasing two bottles as it was light, bubbly and affordable. I kept the wine corks to add to my collection. During dinner, we saw Chef Antonio Park making the rounds and greeting tables. He was so kind and all smiles to take a photo. It was my first time meeting him, I thanked him for taking the time and commented on the amazing food. My experience at Yama met my high expectations, I would recommend the venue for date night and celebrating a special occasion. Enjoy!

Sushi taco

Good food, good vibes and quick service! Id say the sushi taco is quite small so definitely order more than one. The drinks are good here too. It's located inside a hotel and also expect higher prices because of that.

What a splendid find! Right across from shopping this place is wonderful. Very very limited menu but everything is done right.

we feel like we had a once in a lifetime experience. We had the Omakase tasting menu and we're not sure we'll ever taste anything quite like this again. Mainly because there isn't a set list of items for this option (omakase means "leave to me" in Japanese.) and we love the feeling of a basically personalized meal. One dish was so rare the staff took pictures of it . Expertly prepared and decorated (check out that gold leaf) every dish looks and tastes like a work of art. You don't go here to just eat for sustenance, you go to gift yourself an incredible gastronomic experience. Very quick, dedicated and knowledgeable service. The whole staff seems to know every detail about the food they serve. They seem very well trained overall which adds even more to the elevated feel you won't find just anywhere.

Passion fruit cocktail
Alexis C.

I would give this place a 3.5/5 stars. Our waiter was really nice and gave us some great recommendations as we're visiting from out of town. The restaurant was pretty but not the most comfortable dining experience. We came here to use the food credit at our hotel but I would frankly only recommend the passionfruit cocktail. The kimchi and cheese fusion dish was an interesting fusion choice. The sushi and soup weren't bad but I would only come here for convenience and cocktails not the food.

Black Cod

Incredible meal from Chef Antonio Park. The ambiance is 10/10 (we sat at the bar). The decor is beautiful with modern design and such a great vibe. Every dish we had was literally Michelin star worthy. My favourites were the Yama Maki, the Cod and the Octopus. All were cooked to perfection and had a unique mix of flavours and ingredients. Drinks were also very good. I look forward to returning and trying the tacos (they looked incredible!)

We dined here for lunch upon arrival to the vogue hotel and lunch was amazing. The mushroom burger was delicious and the little fish taco, fresh. Because we walked for hours and had no will no travel any further than into the elevator, we decided to try for dinner as well. The entrées were equally amazing. The burrata was delicate and fresh while the tuna was top tier as was the wagu. Unfortunately main course wasn't as impressive but still yummy! The cocktails that get crafted behind the bar are ones to come in and enjoy. The "wood" cocktail was exceptional. This restaurant is not only beautiful, but it serves delicious food as well!

Menu 1/4

We walked past this restaurant a few times and decided to give it a try. We didn't have reservations but they still accommodated us on a busy Saturday night which was excellent. We sat at the chefs table and it was a great experience watching the chefs prepare the sushi & sashimi plates all night. The drinks we ordered came very quickly but the wait between the appetizers and the main plate was really long, it was close to 1 hour if not slightly more. Fair warning, the prices are a bit steep for what you get. We started off with the Yama Maki and the Toro sashimi which were both good. The maki roll came with a dark sauce in the middle of the sushi plate that was sticky and sweet. Upon request we did receive wasabi so don't be afraid to ask for some as it doesn't come automatically with it. We had a bit of a misunderstanding about the duck plate as I thought it was going to be duck confit and not duck breast, it was paired with duck heart and duck foie gras. The duck breast came out on the rare side and would have liked to be asked if I wanted it cooked a little more when they first took my order (even though I know duck breast is supposed to be cooked on the rare side, this is why I was so excited to get duck thigh). Regardless, it was still ok. Although the plate came with a few slices of pickles, the plate felt like a bit of duck overload without any vegetables or potato sides to make it more balanced. The lamb plate was good, the meat was tender. They delivered our the plates to our table and poured Demi glaze right in front of us. I found the sauce was a perfect pairing with the lamb. I enjoyed this plate and would recommend it. The food was at a good temperature and they were plated nicely.

I went for drinks only to the bar and I really liked my litchi Martini. The service was good and the bar is nice.
